he's standing. the man who recorded this videotape also witnessed the fire. >> the fire start on the bottom, the right side, the bottom, the back and then there's more and more and more -- and more. >> it's a highly densely populated apartment complex area so the threat is even bigger. >> reporter: police say what's being set on fire is debris, dumpsters and a few vehicles. this is one of the vehicles in the fire. somebody was inside the cab when the fire started. >> the police officers were on the scene and were able to rescue him from the vehicle before he was injured and killed. it's growing by intensity in severity. we're trying to put a stop to this before somebody does get hurt or killed. >> reporter: this is a composite of the suspect.

he's described as an hispanic, 19, 20. 5'" to 5'10". police say he's only a person of interest at this point. reporting live in sunnyvale, kraig debro, ktvu channel 2 news. 7:03. there was some pretty tense moments in one castro neighborhood last night. the trouble started when sheriff deputies got a frantic call when a man was inside a home on grissom and lux. officials surrounded the house. they spent 90 minutes securing the neighborhood. the man surrendered after negotiators arrived on the scene. it's still not clear if he had a gun. investigators say it's possible the whole incident may have been due to some type of understanding. in one hour, the grim search at an east lay landfill is scheduled to resume.

good morning. >> reporter: good morning. critics say it's too much money but the vote is in three hours. we're live at the b.a.r.t. alameda street location. this is where passengers get off before they can get on to air b.a.r.t. and go to the airport. passengers pay an extra $3, exact change for a bus ride and then wait for the bus to fill. >> b.a.r.t. wants to allocate offset moneys lost in february for a project to oakland international. but it would be between $68 and $100 in taxpayer money per rider. the tram would carry riders 3.2 miles, the total price tag is set around $484 million.

some riders are ready for -- ready for the change despite the cost. >> i live in berkeley. it's almost as easy to go to sfo because it's roughly -- it's a little bit longer but not much. it's a direct train. >> reporter: not everyone is pushing this project. there are groups who say there are other cheaper options like a bus express lane to get riders to the airport faster. they would time traffic signals and add a dedicated bus lane. now, all of this at a cost of about $15.86. the metropolitan transportation committee is expected to vote today at 10:00 a.m. jade hernandez, ktvu channel 2 news. >> all right. thank you, jade. 7:07. we want to check in now with sal who is keeping a close eye on the commute, especially a big problem out in livermore. >> yeah. this accident that we had tori just after 3:20 this morning a

big rig that hit the guardrail. the big rig is long gone but the traffic remains. they were blocking the left lane there for a while to clean up the fuel spill. it took about three hours to do that. all of the lanes are finally cleared but that slow traffic there is really, really bad coming back to almost 205. all of the lanes are open. but the damage is ton done. if you are a 580 driver, you get into the area and it will be extra slow. if you are driving across any of the bridges, san mateo or bum -- dash dumbarton, it looks pretty good there, all the way out to highway 101. you can see 101 and 280 are not that bad yet. and in the south bay, slow traffic heading north.

7:08. here's steve. what a change. look at this -- i mean, angry sky. >> looking a little angry. >> looking a little angry there. >> we have a cold front going through. temperatures have just dropped off the table compared to where they were sunday and monday. live stormtracker2 we actually had to shake the dust off a littleby -- a little bit. look at that. light rain has been falling up to northern california and the valley. if things keep going and marching as advertised, next week it looks like rain. today, cooler and winy. there's been a lot of drizzle. coast and bay. some measurable amounts, san francisco, peninsula as well. even oakland the last two hours, drizzle, drizzle. afternoon hours are possible to the north and east. i will mention it i think

controlled burn will start will all depend on the wind conditions. this morning, bp just released its internal investigation into the gulf oil disaster. find out why this report is causing the beleaguered company's stock to rise. >> ...berber carpet. it was a whole bowl of stew. nooo. why? i could have saved this one. i could have saved this one. ♪ call 1-800-steemer

investments, including the proposal to allow companies to write off 100% of the funds they spend investing in facilities and equipment between now and the end of 2011. >> this isn't about the next 60 days or the next 90 days. this is about how do we get our economy fully back on track? >> now, the president wants to spend $50 billion on projects to improve the nation's roads, rails and runways. he says he can do it without increasing the deficit. president obama will also make very clear today that he wants to let the bush tax cuts expire for households making more than $250,000 a year. that is an idea that's very unpopular with republicans here on capitol hill. reporting live from washington, d.c., alison burns, ktvu channel 2 news. >> okay. alison, thank you. well, this morning we're finding out more about what kind of deal oracle offered

"the chronicle" reports that he's making the trip to try to bring the fair here in 2020. it would be the first time in 0 -- in 20 years since they hosted the event.

it was held in treasure island in 1929 and in the marina district in 1915. however, there's one major hurdle to bringing the event back here to the bay area. several years ago we understand the u.s. stopped paying its dues to the organization in charge of the world fair and congress would have to approve the spending of the money. dave? >> thank you, pal pam. the san francisco city clerk's office says it won't happen again. that's after yesterday's board of supervisors meeting had to be cancelled as soon as it started because the required notice was not pested in the paper. an office worker says she put that notice in the paper. >> we'll function just fine without the board member meeting on tuesday. >> now, many city residents came to that meeting reready to

the street. he says he put the camera out because of previous vandalism. on the tape, you can see the figure but not who it is. and then you can see as he gets up, the flames grow. >> i see -- i park my car outside and make sure my car is safe. it's fine today. tomorrow, i don't know. >> reporter: a truck also caught fire. a person happened to be sleeping in the truck. police say if their officers hadn't arrived when they did, the man would have been hurt. firefighters were able to give a description to the man seen running from the seen. the man is hispanic, 19 to 20, 5'8". police say he's just a person of interest right now. coming up, we'll tell you who

helped them compile the sketch. back to you. >> thank you, kraig. we posted that sketch on our website at ktvu.com. go to the web link section on the front page to get a good look. >> there's no additional security at hogan high school despite a violent attack on campus yesterday. claudine wong is in vallejo right now, she's talking with parents and i know you have new details about what led up to that incident. good morning, craw dean. >> reporter: that's right, i just talked to a girl who said she witnessed the attack. she didn't want to go on camera because she said she didn't want to get involved in any of this. she said the two were friends. this was all a fight over $3. this all happened yesterday morning around 7:45 on campus. the kid i talked to said the victim was slashed once across the cheek. it happened around 7:45 in the moving in what is called the tunnel which is a corridor.

turned down that proposal. neighborhood groups are fighting that renewal attempt. they could either approve it, deny it or send it to the police chief for review. san francisco is making in -- is raking in millions of dollars at parking meters more than a year ago. this comes from a combination of prices at the meters and a rise in costly violations. the yearly revenue has increased about $9 million and citation numbers are up by more than $3 million overall. free parking spaces are about to become tougher to find in some san francisco neighborhoods. the agency has voted to install more than 1400 new parking meters in ten neighborhoods. the new meters in the areas including fishermen's what wharf, the mission and at&t park are expected to generate about $2 million a year. 7:36. leaders of muni's driver's union are talking talking about

some transmission fluid. so the tranny went out. they took the bus away but the fluid was making things up slow on the bridge for a little while. 880 north and southbound, traffic is moving along okay here at the coliseum. the as play tonight, the mare rememberers in, at 7:00 or something. i was mentioning how 280 was doing well -- well and then it has started to slow down getting um to highway 17. here's steve. stu, sal what a change. we have a lot of low clouds around. drizzle, a very, very strong system for this time of year is already moving through. two parts. the front is going true now. we get low clouds and higher clouds as well as a lot of drizzle by the coast and the possibility of showers coming in later on.

also coming down from the west, possibility of lake county. maybe off to the east. as we destabilize the air a little bit. for the morning, low clouds, drizzle. the fog has lifted way up there around 4,000 feet. there should be enough cold air coming in to wipe out the fog. so mostly sunny by the coast. windy and cool for everybody. by the evening, sun and wind by the coast. over interior, especially over the higher vale -- elevations. there's the system coming through. we'll cloud up again as that next piece of energy drops in. temperatures will be com. 80 in santa rosa, 6 today. 62 in san francisco. why warmer? because i think there will be enough cold air to wipe out the fog. yesterday was solid most of the day. today we should get the breakthrough. walnut creek only 67 and windy.

giving visitors more bang for their buck. >> in euros $20 is like 12 euros. let's take three.
